Goals

• Ease of Use: API simplicity and consistency
• Portability: 100% Java SE
• Efficiency: highly optimized performance and efficient resource utilization
• Reusability: suitable for a broad range of asynchronous message-passing tasks
• Extendibility: core elements for more sophisticated products and applications
• Reliability: free from bugs

Detailed technical attributes

• 100% Java-2 compliant
• Designed for high availability and to eliminate the impact of peak data surges.
• Self-monitoring load balancing provides peak performance while eliminating memory over-commitment
• Fully functional publish / subscribe and point-to-point message broker.
• Layered, modular and extensible java bean adapter classes (publishers and subscribers)
• High performance FIFO memory queues that page to mass storage when they reach a defined threshold
• Dynamic broker or peer discovery utilizing IP-multicasting MCNS (multi-cast naming service)
• Handles raw (binary), ASCII text or language-specific field-level data mapping
• Supports Java data mapping/marshalling APIs that are consistent with JDBC
• Supports automated message mapping to Java Swing tables, labels and fields
• 100% Internet protocols (implemented using TCP/IP and IP-multicasting)
• Benchmarks of sustained message broker processing reveal it will reliably process over 6,000 published messages / second on Compaq Proliant on Linux and MS Windows
